INSTRUCTIONS

See recipe video for guidance! 📽

Position a rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat to 350°F/180°C. Line with parchment paper the bottom and sides of a 8×8-inch baking pan. Set aside.

Add butter, sweetener, cocoa powder and salt to a medium heatproof bowl. Melt over a water bath or using the microwave. You will want to heat it up until all the butter and sweetener has melted and the mixture is well incorporated. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Add one egg at a time, stirring well after each one until completely incorporated. Add almond flour, stirring vigorously until fully blended (about a minute). Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 15-25 minutes (we do 23), or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out slightly moist. This really does vary (a lot!!) from oven to oven (think convection etc), so give them a check from minute 15 the first time around.

Sprinkle with flakey sea salt (optional) and allow to cool completely on a rack. Lift brownies using the edges of the parchment paper and cut into desired size (we do 16!). To get extra clean edges, place in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to cutting.

RECIPE NOTES

*Please see section on sweeteners for deets and possible substitutions. Just keep in mind that stevia doesn’t work (at all!) for these!

**If measuring the cocoa with tablespoons rather than grams, be mindful of howyou scoop as you can end up with a lot more cocoa powder than needed. Drop the cocoa powder into the tablespoon and level it, rather than scooping it out of the bag with the tablespoon (which can lead to overpacked tablespoons!).

***UPDATE: based on your feedback, we’re now advising you guys to use eggs at room temp. Reason being that if your cocoa/butter mixture is not hot enough (and your eggs are very cold), they’ll solidify the butter and your batter will be too thick once you add in the almond flour (doesn’t affect the end results, just annoying to spoon rather than pour!).
